Platamid® CoPolyamides (CoPA) hot melt adhesive (HMA) is the
answerto the most demanding bonding challenges in markets such as
textile
interlining, technical textiles, automotive, construction or
electronics.
Most Platamid® grades can be extruded into webs, films or
filaments whilelower viscosity grades are suitable for standard HMA
processes, such as
melt print or low pressure molding.
